Carefully study this section before you make the first cut with your new saw, You must understand what causes kickback, how you can reduce the chance of kickback, and how you can remain in the best control of the saw if kickback does occur. '1.:WHAT CAUSES KICKBACK "V::_tKickback can happen when the moving chain contacts an object at the tip of the guide bar. • This contact causes the chain to dig.
USING THE POWER SHARP SYSTEM Model .353690 is equipped with a Power Sharp System that will perform approximately 80% of the sharpening necessary for the saw chain. The Power Sharp System utilizes a built-in grinding stone to sharpen the cutter top plates,and set depth gauges. As the built-in sharpener is used, the cutter side plates gradually will be altered, About every 3rd to 5th time the Power Sharp System is used, hand filing is required to correct the c_btter side plates.
5. File from inside toward outside of cutter, straight across, in one direction only. Use 2 or 3 strokes per side plate edge. Figure 26. SIDE PLATE I_ SIDE PLATE NOTE: Avoid hitting the top edge of th.e cutters when filing the side plate. 6. Maintain a 1/'32" side plate projection. Figure 27. 7. FiJe'_all side plates on one side of the chain, /then move to the other side of bar and fite remaining side plates.
Bn TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES 1. PLAN YOUR SAWING OPERATION CAREFULLY IN ADVANCE a. Clear the work area. You need a clear area all around the tree where you. can have secure footing. b. Study the natural conditions that can cause the tree to fall in a particular direc. lion. The tree wilt be likely to fall: 1.) In the direction the WIND is blowing 2.) towards the direction of the• LEAN of the tree .3-) on the side that is the HEAVIEST with branches. coMake sure there is enough room for the free to fall. d.
C. BUCKING • Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log size. • Two types of cutting are used (Figure 33): nOvercutting -- begin on the top side of the log with the bottom of the saw against the log; exert,light pressure downward. --Undercutting-begin on the underside of the log with the top of the saw against the log; exert light pressure upward. During undercutting, the saw will tend to push .back at you.
D. DEBRANCHING AND PRUNING • Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm gdp. Maintain secure footing and balance. • Watch out for spdngpoles, Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs. Slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull off balance. WARNING! BE ALERT FOR AND GUARD AGAINT KICK. BACK. Do not allow the moving chain to contact any other branches or objects at the nose of the guide bar when debranching or pruning. Allow.
MAINTENANCE A good maintenance program: of regular inspection and care will increase the service life and help to maintain the safety and performance of your saw. • Make all adjustments or repairs (except carburetor adjustments) with: ' " ,--spark plugwire disconnected •_#ngine, cool as opposed to a unit that has just been run. Ae ,GUIDE BAR t WARNING! All chain saw service other than the maintenance described in thismanual :should be:performed by your SEARS ServiCe Center.
5.) Correct Depth Gauges. a.) Place depth gauge tool over each cutter depth gauge. Figure 42. GAUGE b.) File level with the flat file if depth gauge is higher than the depth gauge tool. c.) Maintain rounded front corner of depth gauge with a flat file. Figure 43. Figure 42 NOTE: The very top of the depth gauge should be flat with the front half rounded off with a flat file. , MAINTAIN ROUNDED CORNERS OF DEPTH • b. CHAIN REPLACEMENT _i!-) .Bep!ace the chain when cutters or links break. .
B. 'IGNITION, COOLING AND EXHAUST • Carbon deposits will build up on exhaust ports, spark arrestor, muffler, and spark plug as the saw is used. All of these parts should be cleaned at the same time to prevent engine damage, overheating, loss of power, and hard starting. • Clean parts: -- as required --at least once for each 25-30 hours of operation SYSTEMS 1. EXHAUST SYSTEM • Carbon build-up on theexhaust system can cause the engine to loose power in a cut. • Keep the spark arrestor clean at all times.
